“Whatever role the coaches want to put me, like I said, I feel I can do multiple things, but [I’m] just going to go out there and give it my best,” Burkhead said in the piece. “Whatever way that is, the power run game, splitting out or whatever, I’m just going to do the best I can to help this team.”

Burkhead rushed for more than 3,300 yards and 30 touchdowns at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
